Pens :: Fountain The fountain pen is an elegant, and very personal, writing instrument. The nib, or writing tip, determines smoothness and flexibility. With time, the nib conforms to your writing, and lending your fountain pen can alter the nib. Nibs are available in several sizes. Medium points (M) are good for most handwriting. If your handwriting is small or condensed, select a fine (F) point. Broad points (B) look great but can be temperamental and must be held flat to keep the ink flow sufficiently feeding the point. Extra-fine (XF) points are also available, but tend to write less smoothly. Fountain pens use bottled ink or cartridges, and most easily convert to either. Writers with a light touch can use almost any make or style of fountain pen; those who tend to bear down when they write should choose a pen with a firm nib.
